Duvets & covers

Hello! Does anybody else have the same as us? The duvets inside the covers get twisted & everyday its a hassle to shake it out. I thought it was the duvets themselves (cheap) & so I replaced them but it still happens with the more expensive ones! Any advice???

It may be your covers. Are the polyester, microfiber, or faux silk? To stop the sliding about you need a duvet with a polycotton cover ( hollowfibre with a polycotton cover aren't expensive), and a duvet cover that is at least 50% cotton.

You can sew ribbons in the corners of the duvet and the covers and then tie them together when you change the covers if you know what I mean?

I read that advice somewhere as I have the same problem and I have always meant to do it but have never got round to it!

At the moment I safety pin the duvet to the covers, so far it's been successful and no-one has been pricked..... Yet!
